“The vegetable harvest was smaller than we expected this year, so we will sell less this month to ensure the my pack barns are full in winter.” Berthie raised the new topic of the meeting “However, we hope that this situation will improve in the next quarter. I hope you understand that we will have to divide the remaining stocks for sale equally between you this time.”
“The harvest from my pack was plentiful this year.” Rudolph nodded humbly “I can give up my share so there will be more for those who weren’t as lucky.”
"I say the same. My pack is not having difficulties with food. Let the rest be divided equally among the rest.” Hunter said, trying to hide how much this boring and repetitive meeting was exasperating him.
Generally, it was never like this. N
“Are you acting this way because of a piece of pussy?” Forrest growled, full of contempt “We all thought you were better than your father, but it looks like we were wrong.”“You…!” Hunter's growl sounded like a scream as he slammed his hands down on the table hard enough to crack the wood, standing up, ready to attack Forrest, as did the cougar who also got up immediately, while all the other Alphas stood ready, ready to intervene.“My Alpha!” The office door opened suddenly, before any of them could make the first move, revealing several of his wolves, some injured and covered in blood, dragging with them a strange man who was tied up “Quick! We are under attack!”“What?!” Hunter immediately pushed the table away, running towards them &l
Cleaning up the traces of pandemonium wasn't what Hunter expected to do that day, but as his wolves showed up to remove the bodies of the dead invaders and clean up the trail of destruction that had been left behind, Hunter felt almost drained of strength due to the relief of knowing that Corinne was okay and had just a few injuries. Which didn't seem to be just his feeling, as all the Alphas were now standing by their wives, daughters and sisters, also making sure there was nothing wrong with them.“I wish I could stop getting the news that you were ambushed by a group of invaders and then finding you covered in blood…” Hunter sighed, needing to contain the urge to hug her, as he observed the cuts spread across herskin already full of scars.“Believe me, me too.” she sighed “But, I was lucky not to be alone this time.
"Nothing. I think I'm more exhausted than I thought after all this.” Corinne massaged the knot between her eyebrows “I think I just need to rest.”“You certainly deserve it. All of us, in fact. Are you sure you don’t need anything before you go to your rooms, ladies?” Isabelle questioned the Alphas' companions, seeming to have done this many times.“And, allow me to apologize again for that attack.” Corinne curtsied, too humble for someone who should have been applauded, in Hunter's opinion "We have strengthened our security and done our best so that our land can welcome precious guests like you, but still, this hidden enemy that has been taking away the Peace between tigers and wolves seems to be getting stronger and stronger…” she frowned again, troubled “Anyway, as Alpha Calibur's wife, I ask
“Uh, Lilac… I really don't think anyone is going to try to rip my dress off while it's on my body…” Corinne commented as she left the room, watching the old lady look in all directions as if she was waiting for a monster to come out and transform that new dress in pieces again. “I no longer trust the kind of security Hunter has in his own house.” the seamstress complained, her hoarse voice full of disapproval “It's absurd that, even after a day, no one still knows who could have carried out that atrocity. Now, I'm going to have to make a new dress from scratch, because that one is beyond repair. Therefore, if anyone wants to ruin my newest masterpiece, they will have to go over me.” She turned to look at the satin dress with long sleeves and a skirt that reached her knees, as well as a neckline that was a little more revealing than Corinne had imagined it would be, when he was still in the cartoons “Hunte
“I… I will be honest with you, Princess Valiant. I think I owe you that, after what happened two days ago.” Dewey sighed “My pack… has also been experiencing some intrusions recently.” “What?! And why didn't you mention this during the meeting? The other Alphas could have helped him…” Hunter questioned. “Just like they helped you?” Dewey interrupted him with a dismissive laugh “The time when this alliance was a certainty of safety for us little shifters is long gone. Now, it only serves to keep trade routes open and ensure that you predators can take advantage of everything that is produced in territories like mine, without needing to waste your precious time conquering us. Besides, it's not as serious a situation as yours. Nothing serious happened, but…” the Alpha of the Swans swallowed hard “The number of reports about strange movements in our mountains and
“So, I imagine my father has already talked to you about me living here for a while, hasn’t he?” a voice next to Corinne made her look away from the still full glass of champagne that was in her hand and turn to Penelope, whose blue eyes were filled with hesitation and distrust “Why else would you be looking at me so much, just a moment ago, on the other side of the table.” “Uh…” Corinne furrowed her eyebrows, wondering if Penelope would believe that she was actually just looking at the food and wondering if it would be such a breach of etiquette for the party host to eat an entire tray of those salami croquettes “Actually, yes, he already said it. And I've already asked Isabelle to prepare the room you're in so that it can become your private room from now on. So welcome.” she smiled, a little unsure of how she should act to be as receptive as possible. “You
“Uh… I guess I should let you know that, of all the things Octavia taught me, dancing wasn’t among them.” Corinne murmured as Hunter led her to the dance floor, in that embarrassed manner that, for some incomprehensible reason, was very adorable to him.“It’s fine. I think I can handle this for both of us.” he assured, trying to remain cool as they finally reached the center of the garden, which had been made into a dance floor, and, under the gaze of all the other couples, he pulled her even closer, holding her by the waist until that addictive smell was surrounding him on all sides “Relax.” he instructed her, a little uncomfortable because her eyes were turned downward the entire time, focused on their feet and preventing Hunter from seeing her completely “This song doesn't get much faster than that. Just try to imitate my movements… Tak
“Well…” she bit her lip, clearly hesitant “No, nothing very concrete, other than the fact that you were only being attacked by wolves and we were always fighting shifters of the most diverse races possible. But, Isabelle told me the same thing as you earlier. I’m probably starting to see too many things where there really isn’t anything.” Corinne shook her head and Hunter got the distinct impression that she hadn't let go of that concern, as she was trying to make it seem like "I... Uh... I was thinking... You wouldn't have salt, sage and anise somewhere in the pantry, would you?" they looked at each other for a second, in silence, until she blushed, embarrassed “Sorry, that sounded weird. Forget I said that. It was not my intention to arouse your distrust again…”“No, it’s okay.” he interrupted her “If you want this to m
"Alice! Alice!”That voice sounded at the same moment Alice opened the coffee shop's door, making the small bell overhead tinkling. Her eyes were heavy and her shoulders were so low that they seemed to be almost touching the floor, but she still forced herself to smile at her best friend, just as Lucy got up from the small table where she was sitting and came running over to her."Oh, dear, I'm so sorry..." Lucy whined, and, as always, Alice could see in her poor friend's blue eyes that she had been crying "Are you okay?""Yes, I'm fine." Alice tried hard to keep that smile on her lips “It was painful to see Mrs. Williams in that coffin, but, she was suffering so much the last few days...” she sighed, as her friend held her shoulders and guided her to the table where Lucy had left “The only thing that consoles me is that she was always saying she wanted to rest. She looked so peaceful at the funeral... I think she was finally able to make it.”“That bastard son of hers really refused
Well, everyone, with that, we concluded the story of Hunter and Corinne. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who got here and supported this story in every way, from comments, to gems and reviews! This was my favorite story to write for GoodNovel so far and I wanted you all to know that having you with me was what made it happen. Thank you very much, I hope to see you all in my next stories!
Sunny Calibur was exactly like the sorceress who had plagued all the packs in the region years ago. That's because, as much as her parents hated it when someone used that name, that woman, who had been dead for many years, was her grandmother. Maybe she shouldn't think that way, but for Sunny, it was just the truth and she was fine with it, just as she had gotten used to the looks the tigers from her mother's homeland gave her, whenever her mother's family paid a visit.“Here they are!” her mother, Luna Corinne, cheered happily as the Valiant carriage pulled up, and Sunny just shook her hands with a smile on her face.“I told you they were just a little late because of the mud last night's storm caused.” She assured, tucking a strand behind her mother's ear, before she and her parents approached to greet her grandparents and her uncle.“Oh, my dear.” Her grandma was the first to get out of the carriage, with a huge smile on her face as she hugged her “I swear you look taller and more
"This is ridiculous! Get out of my way, Isabelle! I have the right to enter this room!” Hunter grunted, on the verge of despair, but Isabelle resorted to moving out of the door to his and Corinne's room.“Not while you’re acting like you’re the one giving birth.” His cousin snorted, placing one hand on his hip while holding his baby son, Nicholas, with the other, even though he was already much bigger than any other 1-year-old boy in the entire pack “Now, sit down, take a deep breath and try to calm down. I’m not going to let you go in there in that nervous state, just to make Corinne scared like you.”“How can I not be nervous? She was in a lot of pain! What if there is something wrong with the baby? And if the birth ends up being more than her body can handle!” he panted at that mere thought “Enough! Get out of that door before I get you out, Isabelle! I need to check on my wife!’“For the love of all the Gods, Hunter, I’m sure….”The sound of thin, high-pitched crying interrupted t
“Hunter, can you stop pacing like a goose?” William grunted next to him at the altar, but Hunter solemnly ignored him, continuing to do it again and again all the way in front of the Moon God's stained glass window.That little exercise was the only thing that was managing to keep him and his wolf under control while Corinne didn't show up to marry him. Not that he didn't know he was acting crazy, since she had already accepted his marriage proposal and probably wouldn't run away from him, but... Hell, all he wanted most was for that day to be everything their first marriage had not been.It was almost crazy to think that just a year ago, he was in that exact suit, standing in that same spot, but with a completely different feeling in his chest as he waited for his bride. When he thought about what Corinne's life was like at the time she first set foot in Calibur, only to find her mate and be rejected by him right away...Fuck, there was that feeling again that he could spend the rest
“Jennifer?” Corinne asked, surprised to find Hunter's sister standing there, with what appeared to be a suitcase in her hands in a backpack on her back.“Ah, you...” Jennifer stammered, immediately turning pale “Listen, I didn't come here to try to ruin your wedding or anything like that, okay? So don't blow my head off with your magical powers or anything like that! I'm already leaving anyway! It's not like I can bother you anymore. I just... I just wanted to see this house one last time, before I leave.”“I would never do something like that, Jennifer…” Corinne sighed, until she realized what she had said “Wait, are you leaving? Where?"“And does it matter?” the young wolf growled, cowering “Nobody wants me in this place anymore. I don'
“Bring some more staples over here! We can’t risk this hairstyle falling apart!” Penelope screamed, and Corinne had to fight the instinct to flinch, as she knew that any movement could destroy that intricate hairstyle and consequently make Penelope want to end her life “Quick! One moment longer and we’ll be late!”“Why are you so worried and ordering everyone around?” Nicole grunted, but still passed the hairpins to the swan princess, allowing her to continue making waves and pinning up various parts of Corinne's hair, even though theoretically everything was already done “My sister needs time to enjoy her marriage, you know?”“Take a step back, brat. You’re not even old enough to have a mate and know what it means to have a perfect marriage.” Penelope snorted “At least I'm here
“Hunter!” Corinne gasped when Hunter tried to insert his hands down her pants, but that didn't stop him from continuing “We... We've already been away for five days... We can't take any longer. People must be waiting for us...” her words warned, but his mate just parted her legs on the carriage seat, allowing his hand to enter her leggings and find that narrow and wet pussy, ready for him.“It felt good fucking you while you bit the pillow to keep from screaming and letting your family know what we were doing, but I'm done with it.” He growled, licking her claim mark as he pulled the strap of her blouse to caress her tits “I want to go hard into that hot pussy and hear you moan like you always have.”“Hunter...” she moaned again, as he began to plunge his fingers started deep in and out of her, using h
“Are you sure you’re not cold?” Hunter murmured against her ear, only causing Corinne to curl up even closer to him, pressing her cheek against his warm chest. "No." she sighed as she ran her hands over his abdomen “What about you? I never realized that Valiant could be so much colder this time of year than Calibur.” "No. I have something pretty hot to help me.” He teased, making her giggle as he trailed kisses down her face. “So... What did you think?” Corinne asked, dangling her legs in the air from the edge of the hill where they were sitting, with a rather expansive view of the entire tiger territory below “Is this place much different than you imagined?” “Well…” Hunter looked down at the orange-leafed trees below, and the many tigers moving through the center of the pack, resuming their lives in full force now that they were safe “It’s certainly not the den of cruelty and arrogance that horror stories told me about when I was a kid.” He s
